Slider Companion Fifth Wheel Hitch Recommendation for 2011 Ram 3500 with B and W Turnover Hitch
Question:
I have a 2011 Ram 3500 Megacab with a 6foot bed. I was curious as to what hitch assembly you might suggest for Fifth wheel tow hitch. I currently have a BandW turnover ball installed in the truck and would like to be able to use it if possible. My main concern is turning radius. I primarily use the trailer for work and it takes me to some areas where turning space is limited. Thank you. If you need more info just let me know.

Expert Reply:
Since you have a B and W Turnover Gooseneck Hitch installed already then all you would need is the correct Companion hitch. Since you have a short bed truck you need the slider Companion part # BWRVK3400.
Around sharp corners you would need to slide the hitch back to give you more clearance and then slide it back forward when you get out of the parking lot.
